This cosy, curio-crammed boutique guesthouse allows you to enjoy the reviving Lisbon scene and the hipness that serenades the communal areas. Casa Oliver Principe Real is adorned with chic, vintage pieces. The comfy standard options are roomy enough to host a king-size bed, and the sleek en-suites are stocked with complimentary toiletries. You will be central to some of the city’s best offerings, only steps from Principe Real Square and the famous Botanical Garden. Casa Oliver Principe Real is a former traditional palatial house from 1895, with individually decorated rooms with wooden flooring and a retro, chic décor.
OUR STORY
Casa Oliver Palacio Real houses 26 rooms and suites, all individually designed to meet the guest’s comfort. 6 suites have views of the fabulous Jardin del Principe Real, and the rest overlook the famous Botanical Garden. The budget price and location make it a winner, in addition to its boutique feel and great service. There is free coffee and tea in the lounge area, and there is an honesty cupboard with water, crisps, and other snacks in case you are having that midnight rumbling in the tummy.
Expect to find old-fashioned shower heads, vintage telephones, and other old-age details in the room. The hallways of the building are decorated with expensive works of art framed against the walls. In the morning, you can have a continental breakfast. The breakfast room is quite small, so there isn’t the best privacy when you are eating. If you are a fussy eater and prefer a bit of aloofness, you can expect to find dozens of good breakfast spots in the neighbourhood.
There is a relaxing communal area where it is best enjoyed on your down time. This is where you can sit and read a book or browse through the internet on your mobile devices without feeling like you have to stay in your room. Convenient amenities include complimentary high-speed Internet access, express check-in and express check-out. What we most loved about Casa Oliver Palacio Real is the decoration, the helpful staff and cleanliness of the rooms.
